I just upgraded to an i7-3770 and I have an R9-380.... I use to run games with a solid 90 fps but now it's down to 20 to 30 fps. I know that my graphics card is plugged in to the monitors and the drivers are installed.... I need help
 
Soo.... I reset cmos and reattached my card... after I turned on my computer the screen started to tear and then after that I restarted my computer and the screens are in power save mode now
 
lets see if this helps...

> download display driver uninstaller from guru3d...run it and uninstall all current drivers...
> power off the system and reset the cmos battery...
> clean the card properly for dust accumulation...
> power on the system and update the bios to the latest one, but before that, keep a copy of the older bios, in case the new one doesnt work...(optional)
> now go to the nvidia/amd website and download the latest drivers for the card and install them...
> along with that u should update ur...vcredist, c++ redistributable, directx, and .net framework...

let us know wat happns...
